Hearty Mushroom Salisbury Steak Chili

Anyone else grow up on Salisbury Steak? I sure did.
Salisbury Steak isn’t really a steak per say, but a hamburger patty. It’s made by combining ground beef with spices and is served with a brown gravy.
There’s a lot of variations to the dish. Sometimes onions or mushrooms are paired with the gravy. The meat patties are typically formed with breadcrumbs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Canned French Onion Soup is a classic ingredient that’s also used.
To me, it’s a super retro comfort food. And, hey, it’s really easy.
While there’s nothing wrong with the traditional Salisbury Steak, I’m a big fan of reinventing classics.
Did you know the dish is actually over 120 years old? It has a pretty interesting story, too. It was created by the American physician Dr. J. H. Salisbury who was an early ambassador of the low-carb diet. Salisbury believed that too many vegetables caused poisonous matters to build up in the digestive system which led to ailments like heart disease, mental illness, and tuberculosis.
He created the Salisbury Steak, which he suggested be eaten three times a day.
Now, I feel like I am the complete opposite of Dr. Salisbury (focusing my diet on 75% vegetables and loving my carbs), but to each their own. I do think the Salisbury Steak is pretty delicious!
